This mythological scene by Michel Car\u00e0 Ovcinnicoff<\/strong> is particularly interesting for the historical documentation accompanying it.<\/p>\n A brochure survives from the artist\u2019s solo exhibition held at the Galleria d\u2019Arte in Via Cavour 14, Florence, from 17 to 28 May 1947<\/strong>. The exhibition catalogue lists at number 6 a work entitled La Fuga<\/em> (\u201cThe Escape\u201d), which may possibly correspond to the present composition. The identification, however, should be regarded as probable rather than definitive.<\/p>\n The artist\u2019s presence within the Italian art scene of the post-war period is also documented by contemporary art criticism and specialised publications.<\/p>\n The reverse bears an autograph dedication by Michel Car\u00e0 Ovcinnicoff<\/strong>, dated Rome, 12 May 1955<\/strong>, adding further documentary interest to the history of the work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Michel Car\u00e0 Ovcinnicoff Mythological Scene<\/strong> is a refined pastel on paper, dating from circa 1945. The composition depicts a satyr attempting to abduct an Amazon, a classical subject interpreted through dynamic movement, expressive drawing and a vivid use of colour.<\/p>\n The work belongs to the figurative production of Michel Car\u00e0 Ovcinnicoff<\/strong>, a Russian-born painter active in Italy during the twentieth century. The immediacy of pastel allows the artist to combine chromatic intensity with a lively, almost instinctive treatment of the figures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":126807,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[6376,6415],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-127060","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-modern-art","product_cat-modern-paintings","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nAutograph dedication<\/h3>\n
